In the words of its creators, Turnitin is "the world leader in preventing plagiarism and generating constructive and relevant feedback." Developed by four graduate students at the University of Berkeley in the United States, Turnitin is the most prestigious anti-plagiarism software used in educational centers around the world. With a relatively simple operation, Turnitin allows you to compare a student's work with texts contained in the program's own extensive database, then providing the teacher or the student himself with a detailed analysis of those parts of the work showing signs of plagiarism.
Observed, and calculated as a percentage of plagiarized text relative to the total amount of practice. Once a teacher has this data, it will depend on his Switzerland Mobile Number List or her common sense to decide whether a high proportion of "copied" text is considered plagiarism. To do this, users can configure Turnitin to discard text quotes, a variable number of words that may appear together, etc. You can also manually discard text to prevent the program from identifying each practiced statement as plagiarized. One of the advantages of Turnitin is that the program is able to include in its database all exercises previously uploaded by different users, making it possible to identify not only plagiarized texts from the Internet, but also texts copied from the same texts uploaded in previous years.
Which is the most A common practice among “naughty” students, especially in higher education. In addition, it offers the possibility to make “pre-made” comments or corrections, which also facilitates and speeds up the process of marking assignments, thus saving teachers valuable time. However, Turnitin also has its drawbacks. Well-known blogger Enrique Dans criticized that the Turnitin database is "nothing compared to the more than 1 billion pages that exist on the Internet, and the database does not include popular payment or password access pages, such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal or other newspapers. While I doubt that a student intending to plagiarize work would bother paying or registering on the site Dance mentioned, the fact is that, by and large, he is right.
Beyond that, we One can also consider that most teachers are relatively inexperienced in using such tools, which may lead them to settle for grading based on the percentages provided by Turnitin, without pausing to consider variables and exceptions that may appear throughout the text (not considered Fully cited in-text citations, or statements of works, etc.) and do not use common sense, which is essential for effective use of the program. I can also quote Turnitin's question given in browsers other than Google Chrome... Regardless, if used with sufficient caution, there is no doubt that Turnitin can be a powerful tool for teachers to combat student fraud on a day-to-day basis and provide good support when identifying, assessing and grading exercises. Doubtful.
